10 months and symptoms

I have done many times ( about 12 times )Elisa hiv1/2 antibody test over 10 months of exposure, all came negative. 3 times ( hiv 1+O/2) antibody rapid test negative and 1 time Cobas core antibody test for hiv also came negative. and at 9.5 months i had CMIA hiv antigen/antibody test came negative, i need to know your opinion.. am I negative? do i need a pcr? my exposure was unprotected oral and unprotected vaginal sex with a sex worker.
i have symptoms like some reddish folliculitis leaving dark skin after they heal, and a white tongue, also i feel tired and my finger nails beds turning little blue.  sour throat never left me for 9 months.
i did a syphilis VDRL and TP negative both too.

all my tests were in 10 months period of exposure!
thanks people for your help in advance.

thanks for your kind reply, I also developed (Pityrosporum folliculitis) for a few months that comes and goes, burning feeling under skin. do you think that 10 months negative HIV1/2 ELISA and CMIA Antigen/antibody test is conclusive?
thanks

well, you don't have hiv, that's for sure - tests prove that. your symptoms are pretty vague - maybe stress related. move on from the hiv thing and i'm sure you'll be back to normal soon. believe the tests - they are way more indicative of hiv infection than mere symptoms.
